Your presence lingers
Bathing in the smoke and sorrow
The life you left behind
Still haunts my shattered mind

You leave me lost without you
Stranded in the mournful abyss
But I’ll crawl my way out
Just to be in those arms again

As each day passes torturously
It’s just another tick mark on my wall
Nights drag me down a broken road
Leaving me with raw scars and silence

I cry out for you every chance I get
the crippling pain strikes me down
Emotions flood my aching heart
In hopes I will see you one last time

If only things were different
Send me back in time
Maybe then you will forgive me
Of my improper goodbye

The yearning for your unconditional love
Sends fire to engulf me
But as you watch upon me so high
All I can do is wait patiently to see you again
